Can anyone help me with the proper channel, or channels, for my area in north dallas? I am in the Forest/Inwood section. I have tried northwest and northeast channels to no avail.
Thanks. Digtracker
Depending on exactly where you are, you're either going to be in the North Central Patrol Division (Channel 6, 460.175, pl 173.8), or Northwest Patrol (Channel 5. 460.075, also pl 173.8). Although the dividing line takes sort of a 'jog' at that intersection, Inwood is roughly the eastern boundary of Northwest, and the western boundary of North Central in that area.
See the Dallas PD beat map page
here, to get a better idea. Click on the 'top' map for either division to get an overview, before selecting one of the sector maps below it.
